Iconography: Phase Two

Dear Fellow Parishioners:

With the blessings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the generosity of the parishioners of St. John, we have seen the completion of the first phase of our magnificent iconography.
The iconographer, Christofanis Voutsinas, is in the process of creating the second phase, which will be completed this fall. The second phase includes the Pantokratora, and the completion of the four corners which were begun last year.

These icons are for the beautification of our Beloved Church and for the enhancement of our worship. We are once again being given the opportunity to come together as a family in Christ, to support this most worthy project.

All contributions are welcome and needed.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Cheryl Pandelis or Joanne DeMangus.
With love in Christ.
